This morning on Good Day Utah, we spoke with members of _ProjectEmbrace , a local non-profit that restores and repairs used medical equipment and distributes them to communities whose medical needs are often underserved.
SALT LAKE CITY — The COVID-19 pandemic shined a spotlight on healthcare inequities that continue to linger, even as the world continues its return to normalcy.
"It has been an unprecedented last two years," said Sam Philips, Chief Operating Officer for the non-profit Project Embrace, in an interview with FOX 13's Amy Nay on Good Day Utah."Outside of just the tragedies... we see it interfering with processes across the world, whether it's the global supply chain or being able to get the right healthcare service at your local hospital or clinic.
"We've been working very extensively with the Navajo tribe around the Four Corners region, as well as surrounding indigenous groups around the area," said Abhi Harikumar, Project Embrace's Executive Director, in the same interview."Throughout the time that we're doing this, we're trying to collect as detailed of a picture as possible, of what this community's healthcare needs are, and how they've been maybe changing throughout the course of the pandemic.
